UTILIZATION

Handle very nice touch flatter than on my Start.
The handle does not catch even after prolonged use.
Access to treble is very good despite the fact that there have a cutaway, it goes without problem until last boxes.
In terms of ergonomics I am very comfortable with it, according nmoi only flaw in the form: the muzzle to the rear, had it been a little longer (in some amount on the back of the "horn "from the top like a Start) could have won the game in comfort for sitting. If standing, no problem, apart from the heavy weight, but a guitar that sounds with high-quality wood is always a bit heavy. Let's say that one feels the weight of the quality;)

SOUNDS

The sound is very fat distortion seymour duncan pickups with. The sounds are crystal clear. It's really a guitar to do anything especially if like me you equip one guitar type synth Roland VG-88 then it's the foot ...
What really surprised me about my strat's HUGE sustain of this guitar ... truly monstrous!
I play on a tube amp Peavy Classic 30 and I treat, in terms of the better synth to be plugged directly into a PA it seems. I think I'll invest in a small sound system because for a lot of his guitar amp is not suitable and we can not fully exploit the synth.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month

Most:
- Intrument suberbe, this guitar smells like wood, we see immediately that the materials are of quality.
- Versatility: an infinite number of sounds in one guitar.
- Comfortable, very nice

the -:
- Weight, heavy enough
- Delivered in deluxe soft case: very nice but for a guitar of this price a hard case would have been welcome.
- Price: € 1800 on average over the Net, 2090 in store. I found it on sale for € 1,490, otherwise I would not have taken.

I have tried many different guitar before buying it. At first I wanted another layer because it is a guitar that suits me, then I tried Gibson, Ibanez ... Finally this Godin is a favorite.

The quality / price or price I got (€ 1490) is correct for 2000 € posted in store, I think the price is a bit harsh.

With the experience I do not regret my purchase, I'm happy, but not the ultimate guitar for me is a favorite, I tried it at a time in my life or my finances allow me to invest in such an instrument so I took the opportunity to please me.
I can not say if I do it again this choice because I always try new ENVIS guitars. The best advice I can give you: try before you buy!
